Saturday's game on FOX (what's worse, the pre-game announcers, or, McCarver & Buck ?) was delayed at the start by rain, then, they've been able to complete 5 innings, and start the top of the sixth. Unfortunately, they've played enough, for this to be an official game.
The Mets trail 3-1, in the top of the sixth. Ramon Castro homered for the Mets run.
Are McCarver & Buck insufferable to listen to ? Seriously ? Ken Rosenthal's updates are the only audio I can tolerate on FOX broadcasts.
What's worse ? McCarver & Buck on FOX, or Morgan & Miller on ESPN ? I miss Gary, Keith & Ron.
When is an umpire going to call Andy Pettitte's pickoff move a balk ?
Johan gets called for a balk, and not Pettitte ?
Johan's been feeling squeezed by the home plate umpire, and has been vocal about it.
Jerry Manuel went out to the mound, earlier, and very slyly, stayed out there waiting for the home plate umpire, than started letting him have it. If he argues balls & strikes, it's an automatic ejection, so Manuel, slyly, went to the mound to "visit his pitcher," waited for the home plate umpire to break up the conference at the mound, then, Manuel was seen yelling at the umpire all the way from the mound, back to the Mets' dugout.
Great job, Jerry ! Nice sly move...
